New York 1987

"New York" (1987) by Rosalind Solomon is a black and white photograph capturing a moment of intimacy and spirituality within a domestic setting. The image focuses on a pair of bare feet in the foreground, suggesting vulnerability and exposure. A figure, partially obscured by the edge of the frame, sits in a chair, while the background reveals a small altar adorned with candles and a religious icon. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the mundane and the sacred, inviting viewers to contemplate the personal rituals and beliefs that shape individual lives. This powerful photograph is a testament to Solomon's ability to document the complexities of human experience, particularly within marginalized communities.
